Statement on Anti-harassment

Updated 8/2/2019

The Psychonomic Society is an inclusive and welcoming organization. Our annual and affiliate meetings, and our professional communications, should reflect those values. Society members, conference attendees, and digital event participants should enjoy freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and freedom from harassment and discrimination of all kinds. We encourage members to be mindful of others’ perspectives and to consider how a question, comment, or invitation might be received particularly when there is a power differential between parties. Constructive criticism is an essential part of science. No participant should feel vulnerable to harassment or discrimination, nor should they endure a climate of fear or hostility, at our meetings or in our digital events. Let’s all work together to ensure that our values of inclusion, respect, and professionalism are ones that are enjoyed by all of our members and event participants.
